Square Footprint That Reaches 72 in. Up\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe interesting thing about the RTJ-1100 is the ratio between two numbers. The base measures 24 in. x 24 in. (610 mm x 610 mm) — small enough to live in a corner and to be wheeled between a lift's posts without a shuffle — while the saddle travels from a lowered height of 45 in. (1,143 mm) to a raised height of 72 in. (1,829 mm). Compact where it sits on the floor, tall where it has to work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat combination is what a transmission jack is really bought for. A gearbox does not come out at a convenient height; it comes out wherever the vehicle happens to be sitting on the lift that day, and a jack that runs out of reach at that height is a jack you end up shimming with wood, which is how transmissions get dropped.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit Your Bay?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eMeasure the height of your lift's runways or arms with a typical vehicle on them, then add the height of the transmission's mounting face above that. The saddle needs to arrive there comfortably inside the 45 in. to 72 in. range with travel left over, because you want to make the final approach slowly and under control, not at the very top of the ram's travel.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the floor, the 24 in. x 24 in. base determines whether the jack can be positioned squarely under the load or has to be angled in around a post. Check the gap between your lift's posts and any tool cabinets, air lines or drain covers on the route, and remember the jack is pushed loaded on the way back out.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe floor needs to be flat, hard and level: a loaded transmission jack carries a high, heavy mass on swivel casters, and a slope or a lip is where control is lost. There is no power requirement — the RTJ-1100 is hand and foot hydraulics. Confirming clearances and floor condition is the buyer's responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eConfirm the rating before you put a load on it\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished ratings for this jack differ, so both are on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eproduct name and marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e describe it as a \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2 ton\u003c\/strong\u003e capacity transmission jack.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003especification table\u003c\/strong\u003e gives a lifting capacity of \u003cstrong\u003e1,100 lbs (499 kg)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThose are not the same load, and this is a component that hangs over a technician's head. \u003cstrong\u003eIf your heaviest transmission is anywhere near either figure, confirm the rating with us in writing before you order\u003c\/strong\u003e — we will get it straight from Ranger.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhichever governs, the ordinary rule applies: the rating is for a load centred on the saddle and strapped, not one hanging off an edge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCheck the travel your job actually needs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished figures for lift height differ too. The product copy describes a full 71 in. of lift; the specification table gives a lowered height of 45 in. and a raised height of 72 in., which is a much smaller amount of travel between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRead the 45 in. and 72 in. figures as the working height envelope — that is what a lowered\/raised pair normally means. \u003cstrong\u003eIf the exact travel matters to your application, confirm it with us before you buy\u003c\/strong\u003e, and we will check it against Ranger's current specification sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFoot Pump and Hand Release: Why Both Controls Exist\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePumping is done with a foot pedal, which keeps both hands where they belong: steadying the load and reading the fit of the input shaft into the clutch. Anyone who has run a hand-lever jack while also guiding a gearbox onto its dowels understands why.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLowering is done with a hand control release valve — deliberately the opposite choice. Coming down needs fine, progressive, immediately reversible control, and a hand on a valve modulates better than a foot ever will. Dual push\/pull handles let you steer from either side, on heavy-duty steel swivel casters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSafety Features That Are Not Decoration\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA built-in safety overload valve limits what the hydraulics will do if the jack is asked for more than it should give, protecting against a sudden drop from overload or hydraulic failure rather than merely warning about it. Rugged chain anchors hold the load onto the saddle — a transmission that shifts on an unrestrained saddle is the classic way this job goes wrong, so always strap, even for a short lift.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe hydraulics are sealed against contamination, and the ram is alloy plated. Plating is not cosmetic here: the surface finish is what the seals ride against, so a plated ram is a ram that keeps sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne more point to raise with us: the feature list describes an \u003cstrong\u003ealloy-plated single-stage ram\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the current marketing copy refers to a \u003cstrong\u003etwo-stage design\u003c\/strong\u003e. Those describe different mechanisms. \u003cstrong\u003eIf the staging matters to you — and it does affect how the lift height is achieved — confirm it with us before ordering.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIndependent repair shops\u003c\/strong\u003e pulling transmissions, transfer cases and differentials as regular work.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTransmission specialists\u003c\/strong\u003e who need a jack that fits between lift posts all day.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFleet and municipal workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e servicing drivetrains on a schedule rather than on failure.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRestoration shops\u003c\/strong\u003e where the same gearbox comes out and goes back in more than once.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWell-equipped home garages\u003c\/strong\u003e with a lift and no floor space to spare.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRTJ-1100 transmission jack, heavy steel construction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFoot-operated hydraulic pump and hand control release valve\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAlloy-plated ram\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtra-wide base with heavy-duty steel swivel casters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty chain anchors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in safety overload valve\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat is the manufacturer's stated content.

Say it plainly: equipment that holds a heavy component above a working technician is exactly what written safety policies target, and some insurers, corporate and fleet safety programs, vocational training providers and municipal inspections require independently listed lifting equipment along with inspection records for it. If a standard like that applies to you, read its wording before buying, and ask us if you want help matching it to this machine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eShipped as freight within the lower 48 states, free of charge. At 126 lbs (57 kg) in a carton 50 in. long this is not a parcel — someone at the delivery address must be able to receive and unload it, or arrange terminal pickup instead. Residential deliveries carry an additional fee, shown before you pay. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect it before you sign. Note any damage or shifted load on the bill of lading at the moment of delivery and photograph it while the driver is still there. A clean signed bill makes a claim very hard to pursue, and a bent ram is not something to put a transmission on.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eRanger publishes its warranty for this product as a downloadable document, and that document — not a retailer's summary — governs, so we quote no term here. Download it from the product page and read the exclusions if warranty length is part of your decision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf you do need to claim, do not open the hydraulics or disassemble the jack first — self-diagnosis is the most common reason a legitimate claim is refused.
